From The Editor
Dear readers,
Welcome to Interrobang’s Sustainability Issue. Climate change is the most dire threat facing humanity today, and the effects of global warming are already being felt the world over. We’re well past the time for raising awareness and pretending like individual choice is enough to stop the changing tides. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have made it clear that in order to enact true climate justice, a global paradigm shift in the way we think about education, gender inequality, poverty, and labour is the only way forward.
Our centre spread, contributed by Fanshawe’s Sustainability department, highlights the ways in which the college is working to implement the UN’s SDGs across its campuses, and what still needs to be done.
Other featured content in this issue explores changing food production in an era of unpredictable weather patterns, the complicated question of who is to blame for global warming, and how Fanshawe manages plastic waste on campus.
The need for climate action has never been stronger. The Doomsday Clock, initially featured as part of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists in 1945, is now set at just 90 seconds to midnight (“doomsday”), with climate change now considered a major factor in the list of threats to humanity.
Our hope with our Sustainability Issue is to ensure that the issue of climate change stays top of mind as head into another year. We aim to keep you informed and engaged, in the hopes that you will continue to make the necessary noise needed to make sure our world leaders take this issue as seriously as we do.
Sincerely,
Hannah Theodore
